[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

@Michelle4Laughs I've gotten feedback from professionals that some of my 550/600-word picture books might be better off as early readers. Any thoughts on why that might be?

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

Or maybe this better captures it (the FOMO feeling of missing #questpit).

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

That moment when you realize you missed a great opportunity to put your work out there in #questpit . Good luck to all who participated!

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

Congrats to all the finalists! I didn't make it this year but I'm cheering on those who did and can't wait to read the showcase entries. A huge thank you to @MindyAlyseWeiss, @SylviaiChen and all of the judges for making this happen!

[Mindy Alyse Weiss @MindyAlyseWeiss]

The list of #PBParty finalists is up. Wahooooo!

Huge congrats to the finalists. I hope the agent/editor showcase will get your amazing books into the world!

Hugs to all who need it. (((Hugs))) Your time will come. I know it & can't wait to celebrate.

@rew_erin Sorry to hear that - big rejection day for me too (similar situation). I agree that it hurts!

the power of giving oneself permission: two poems drafted about opening (and closing)... #amwriting #poetry

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

I'm going to go ahead and give myself permission to ignore the voice telling me to revise the story I wrote about the world shutdown four years ago, because right now I'm more interested in writing about how we are open. #amwriting

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

@Jacinta_Patt Me too!

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

Not to state the obvious... but is anyone else in the #kidlit community just a BIT distracted with so many contest results coming out next week? #50preciouswords #pbparty #kidschoicekidlitwritingcontest

[Caitlin Robinson @CTDRobinson]

Calling all MG #kidlit friends! Check out this great opportunity and help out my grad school friend, @Sj_Fennell with her impactful endeavors!

[Leslie Zampetti - updates only @literarylesliez]
